I am considering moving to TX and will be applying for a CCW. I understand that in Texas, if you qualify with a revolver you are stuck with revolvers. My question is, what exactly constitutes a "revolver" over an autoloader? I ask because my "revolver" has automatic gas-powered extraction of empty shells (bouncing 9mm shells from a hammer-mounted deflector) and magazine feeding of fresh rounds. I'm quite serious here.

Jim, while your "Auto-loading Rube Goldberg Revolver" is a wonderful thing just from an engineering standpoint ..... getting a Semi-auto and a Semi- auto permit would be less Rube Goldbergish and much more practical..... just sayin' .......

BTW Texas is full

It wouldn't be if the Feds would enforce the immigration Laws.

A lot of the places will rent you a gun during their course. Never understood why someone would qualify on a revolver with our regulation about revolvers.

Plus think you'd have to convince the course instructor to call it a revolver.
Looks like an auto reloading gun not an auto loading gun. The next round isn't ready and lined up behind the barrel after you fire.

I confess, I lived in CA for 18 years before moving to Texas.
Fear not, I'm a right wing conservative that couldn't stand
CA anymore. I LOVE Texas!!!
